Volant Vs. Air Lid

This is a discussion on Volant Vs. Air Lid within the Firebird / WS6 forums, part of the Vehicle Specific category; Would spending an extra $150 be worth it to get a volant over getting an SLP or Whisper air lid? ...

Volant looks sweet as hell when you pop the hood. A far as gains over the lid, well if you debaffle and seal it properly to the underside of your hood you have a kick ass CAI, better than a lid IMO. Does it justify the extra $150, well how much is $$$ worth to you? That is SFC or LCA in my book.

my question is this. debaffeling the hood, and sealing the volant (volant doesn't seal to the WS6 hood so keep this in mind WS6 owners) will this give comparable gains to a FTRA setup or SSRA setup? I love the looks of the volant, but if the hp gain is that much less than the other CAI setups then that's not the way i want to go

take some thick weatherstrip and it will seal right up to the hood.
or buy dense foam and cut it as needed to fit the hood.
